Subject: frmUpdateEvent + slow row data access (large pdb) = intolerably slow screen updates...

I would like to do something smarter than just have the entire screen redrawn every time an udpate needs to happen. My screen is a table and each row is an entry into a pdb which has potentially thousands and thousands of records. That means to access DmQueryRecord might take over a second for each row. <SNIP>
Why so slow?
Are you accessing records by unique ID? If so, switch over to access them by index #. DmQueryRecord should be very fast ( milliseconds).
